Where does satiety happen?
12 days out
Does it happen in the pouch or in the "Y" where digestion occurs? If I'm eating mostly broth for a meal that goes through pretty quickly, how does that affect satiety? I've had some hunger, so I'm trying to decide how best to address that and how it all works together.
Thanks.

My surgeon explained that the stretching in your stomach (or pouch) contributes to satiety signals, as do chemicals (leptin, neuropeptide Y). Broth doesn't stay in your pouch for much time at all, so won't keep you full for more than a minute or two - but the warmth and liquid can help trick your brain into "full" for a second. Then you gotta drink some more....... Rinse and repeat.

In addition to what Nicole said, if you drink a LOT of liquid, the large amount of liquid in your intrestines can also contribute to feeling full, but it is more a bloated kind of "full" than a filled pouch kind of full. It still makes you less likely to eat, though!
